When Y/n woke up, his vision filled with white. Infirmary, he thought. He sat up, groaning as he felt pain shoot up his body, black spots appearing in his vision. As soon as his vision adjusted, however, he quickly took note of the familiar dark green hair at the side of the bed. His (e/c) eyes softened, raising his hand and hesitantly stroking her—surprisingly—soft hair.

Y/n was a First Year at Tokyo Jujutsu Tech, having been the first to join alongside Megumi as they were both pretty much raised by the man since they were children. Right from the start, he had gotten along really well with Maki, much to the surprise of everyone. She had been the one who helped him develop his fighting style, taught him how to use a sword, and hell, was pretty much the reason why he was a First Grade Sorcerer right now.

He had no idea when his feelings for her developed, nor did he know what to do with them. All he knew was that when he saw her getting enveloped in flames from that Special Grade, he had completely lost it. By the time he was done with the curse, the entire area was up in flames since his cursed technique also happened to do with fire. He had almost exorcised the Special Grade, but it managed to escape.

Y/n's eyes trailed over the burn scars that were faintly visible on her face, but he couldn't see the complete damage done since she was sleeping with her head nestled in her arms and was wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

Maki stirred at the feeling of a hand running through her hair, and blearly opened her eyes. When her eyes widened when they met (e/c) colored ones, "Y/n... you're awake." she breathed.

Y/n grinned, "Gonna take more than a volcano to extinguish my flames, darling." He said cockily. Now that her head was raised, he could fully see the burn scars on her face and it caused pure rage to fill his being at the Special Grade. He could see the burn scars trailing down her face and into her shirt and even on her hands.

Gosh, how is she so beautiful even after being roasted like meat? Y/n thought to himself.

Maki noticed his gaze wandering over her scars and looked away, making him frown. She stood up, "We're kind of running low on sorcerers and my stupid family stole all of the cursed tools in the school. Megumi's the new clan head now, and I'm gonna go to the clan compound and get them." She said in a professional, almost cold tone.

Y/n tilted his head in consideration, "What's wrong?" He asked, keeping his tone neutral.

"Wrong? Nothing's wrong." Maki lied through her teeth.

"Maki, your attempt at lying is almost as bad as Yuta-senpais." Y/n said flatly, causing her eyes to widen, "C'mon, what's bothering you?" He said, watching her intently, grabbing her hand.

Maki looked down, "...Aren't you disgusted?" She asked reluctantly.

"Hah?"

"By my scars. Aren't you disgusted by them?" She asked again.

"I don't know what you're talking about, you are beautiful." Y/n said sincerely. Maki's face turned a light pink.

"I-idiot! Don't say such things so suddenly!" she yelled, sounding more like the Maki he knew.

"I call 'em as I see 'em." Y/n smirked as she blushed even harder, "Oh, come on, you can't honestly think you're ugly now. I mean, you are... hot." He said, snickering at his pun.

Maki deadpanned, "Charming." She said flatly, before a rare nervous expression appeared on her face, "...you really don't mind any of this? It's... not just my face."

"Is it all over your upper body?" Y/n asked, tilting his head when she nodded slowly, "Really? Well, maybe you should take your shirt off so I can see properly." He grinned perversely and ducked underneath a swat that was aimed at his head.

"Pervert! I'm trying to be serious here." Maki scowled in irritation though there was a blush on her face, which he found adorable.

Y/n hummed, "No really, show me. I'm not kidding." He said.

Maki realized that he was being serious and obliged. She took her long-sleeved shirt off, revealing the burn scars that were all over her arms and upper body (She was still wearing a bra). She quickly put the shirt back on, looking away with a scowl.

Her breath hitched when she felt a cool hand on her cheek, turning her face to look him in the eye, "I stand by my opinion. You. Are. Beautiful." He said softly.

Maki let out a breath, her shoulders relaxing (when had they tensed), "I mean, no one said anything about it, they all said I looked fine, but..." she huffed, embarrassed to admit that his opinion mattered to her more than theirs.

Y/n grinned, flicking her nose, "You're a bigger idiot than Yuji if you think I care about little things like scars. I love you, and nothing is going to change that."

Maki smiled softly, leaning closer to him and pressing her lips against his, "Yeah... I love you too." she said softly, "I... you wanna come with me to the Zenin compound? I wouldn't mind your help."

"Of course." Y/n said as if it was obvious, "Plus, I get to meet your old man and get his blessings so it's all good."

"I'd rather not have his blessings." She scowled.

"Hmm, you're right, he is an asshole from what you've told me. But on the other hand, we could just kiss in front of him and rub it in his face that you're dating a commoner." Y/n said in airily

Maki's lips quirked into a terrifying grin, "My boyfriend is cute and deviously smart. How did I get so lucky?" she said, leaning close until their noses were touching.

"I do have a few ideas on how you could show your appreciation for me." Y/n said, grinning flirtatiously as their lips met in a heated kiss.

"Let's take that to my room." Maki said, literally picking him up bridal style.

"Oi, oi, I can walk y'know?"
